title: [Myofibroblastic proliferative lesions in the paratesticular area].
abstract: Myofibroblastic pseudotumorous proliferations have been recognized at a variety of sites. Six cases of paratesticular myofibroblastic lesions with emphasis on the spectrum of morphologic features were described. The microscopic features changed from abundant cellular spindle cell proliferation resembling nodular (pseudosarcomatous) fasciitis to hypocellular and hyalin fibrovascular lesion with extensive dystrophic calcification. The age of the patients ranged from 14 to 77 years. In four cases sarcoma was suspected histologically. Differential diagnosis and histogenesis of the lesion were discussed.
